XL BGE HELP!!!

Blackwidow98

Just finished up my 72x32x32 table for my XL egg. I'm needing ideas on how I need to go about keeping the bottom heat off the wood and preventing a possible fire. Should I got with one 24 inch paver or four 12 inch pavers spaced out or what do you guys recommend?  Any other patterns or combinations I should consider?

Buy a table nest so you have an air gap

Yep, table nest is the answer.

You can always go buy some granite tile to set the nest on for an extra layer of protection. Cost is about $5 a tile at Home Depot.

I assumed everyone would suggest some type of brick paver but I can see I was mistaken!   Plus I just remembered I have 30$ worth of reward points from where I purchased the egg that expires at the end of this month.  Would I still need to put a paver under the table nest or will I be good with just the nest?

I used a 24x24 paver on mine works just fine.

Look at smokewaare table best. A bit more expensive than the BGE onesz but they are built solid as a rock

I bought a wooden out door end table, and a 24x24 ceramic tile for my MM at Lowes. It sits in a handler, and there has been zero problems.

BGE table nest on top of any surface will prevent any problems. It will prevent heat issues and let air circulate under ceramic egg!

I have a large, and got 2 cheap 18 inch ceramic tiles, separated them with bricks, then put the egg on its little feet on top of the upper tile.  It's off the table, has a couple of air gaps and works like a charm.  It also raises it to a more comfortable height for me

Not made in XL yet

I have a table nest for my xl, my concern would be the air gap from the table top to the edge of the egg itself. I cut  four oak blocks 3"x3" and stained them to match my table and put my.nest on them raising the egg 3/4" giving me. More air between the egg and table top.I was worried about the heat affecting the finish of the table top.

When I put my Large in a table, I used concrete pavers and the original green ceramic feet on the pavers.
5 years ago, no problems.

I went with the table nest!  Cost me $14 and some odd cents    Thanks guys!

Wise move. Any pavers or stone will transfer heat.

Fwiw, I feel the added paver is counter productive.

Table? We don't need no stinking table. I got mine right up next to the propane tank for my trailer home.
